a) Even if the the parallel C had a Q of 100 (and the typical Q of
    a mica cap is much higher than this), this would place an
    equivalent resistance of (QXc = 1800 ohm) across the
    transformed Rr (a few ohms).

b) Running at 50W output (*MEASURED*; into a 50 ohm load), the
    parallel capacitor doesn't get warm. So negligible power is being
    dissipated in the capacitor.

I hope that my measurements may be of some value. I will not
attempt to discuss AC circuit analysis again on this list.
